PAGE FOVJH Jeffreymen To Defend Long Unbeaten Skein A seventeen-man contingent of booting Jeffreymen will be out to annex victory number five of the current soccer campaign when it invades Hamilton, N. Y., tomorrow for a soccer fracas against Colgate. Not only will the Blue and White be out to keep its ’49 slate unmarred but Jeffrey’s proteges will also be gunning to run their unbeaten skein to eleven.' This season the Red Raiders have chalked up two wins and one setback, the victories being a 4-3 thriller against R. P. I. and a 4-1 rout over Syracuse. Dartmouth downed Colgate 2-0. Meanwhile the Nittanymen ran up impressive margins in subdu ing West Chester, 6-0; Bucknell, 5-0; Syracuse, 6-1; and Navy, 3-0. COMMON FOE Both Colgate and Penn State have had one common opponent— Syracuse. The Lions, by trounc ing the Orange by two more goals than did Colgate, are established a better-than two goal favorite in tomorrow’s game. Last season the Nittanies, on their home field, slammed Colgate by a 4-2 margin as Harry Little led the way in the scoring col umn. Ron Coleman, star forward who was injured at Syracuse two weeks ago, is back in uniform and is expected to start at inside-left. “Other than that,” Jeffrey states, “I’ll stick with the same starting lineup. They’ve done all right.” . • LIEB, BUSS As usual, lanky Ted Lieb and accurate-passing Clarence- Buss will start at the line flanking gosts with Little and Coleman lling in at the inside positions. Joe Lane will be in the center of the line to greet the game’s opening whistle while Harry Lawroski,. top performer against Navy last weekend, will be the number-one relief-man. Jeffrey, still undecided last night about his other reserves, stated: “It’s hard to pick the others, they are all ' good.” ,-He plans to let Spence Boyer, Pete Buzad, Bud Fenton and Dick Yeagley flip a. coin—the two losers will drop out while the two victors will make the trip. HALFBACKS Will Kraybill, an ex-Lancaster booter will be at his usual left halfback position while Dick Hannah, an ex-Frankford star, will be -the right halfback. Cap tain Ralph Hosterman will be setting up pass plays from his center-half slot. Ready to spell the trio of half backs, considered by experts to be one of the best in collegiate cir cles today, will be Red Emig and Doug Diffendeffer. Reliable Chuck Margolf along with Bill Yerkes will be called upon for fullback chores with Jack Kurty ready for relief. Ron Coder and George Lawther will share the goal-tending duties.

According to no less an authority than John Lawther, former Nittany court coach, the Gay Caballeros will soon have to be recognized as outstanding conten ders for the ’52 Olympic atnateur court throne, Recently returned as prexy of a basketball clinic in Monterey, Lawther. saw for himself the giant steps being taken by Mexi can sports officials in their zeal to build up the cage game. NATIONAL APPEAL As “Gentleman John'’ himself puts it, “The sport’s appeal seems to be national. Although it is com paratively young, no matter how far you go into the hinterlands— to places where Spanish is not even spoken;—you can always see two signs of the times . . . coca cola advertisements' and a basket ball net.” The nationally-known zone master upended the popular be lief that the average Mexican ath lete is on the small side. While talking to Major Diaz, head coach of the Mexican entry, he was in formed that two six-foot, ten-inch giants had seen action in that country’s Olympic encounters. “The most striking difference I can see between .the Mexican and American dribbler is ment,” said Lawther.. “As it is with all athletes of Spanish an cestry they can bekeyed-up.to.an amazing pitch and'then suddenly stage a complete reversal of form. BETTER SHOTS As to which country produces the better shotmakers, Lawther believes that the Mexican has the edge: “The" game beyond the Rio Grande places much more empha sis on a. running attack with lit tle worry given l to defense.” Many of the Spanish teams play a “Rhode Island” type of game where defense is thrown to the winds and the burden is placed upon the point producers. This causes their greater shooting ac curacy. One of the outstanding fea tures of Mexican basketball is the tremendous amount of enthu siasm which has greeted outdoor play. Although all the larger cities have well-equipped gymna siums, it is in the smaller hamlets that the idea of the outdoor arena has really become popular. NO RICKEY Just; as night baseball struck the United States with a sudden ness and took hold during the war years, so outdoor cage champion ship play is now the thing in North on Route 45 Bill Luther Named Week's Top Player Bill Luther, standout Nittany halfback, was awarded the sec ond weekly citation as the out standing football player of the week. The award, presented by a group of coaches and writers, was given to Luther on the basis of his stellar performance in the Michigan State game last week. John Lawther (and -.without - a’ Branch Rickey to produce it). Following Mexico’s defeat to the.U. S. in the .1948 Olympics, Coach" Diaz said, “We weren’t ready for the' Americans, BUT we’ll be prepared the next time.” It could be that the senor was only whistling in the dark, but to a few observers the tune may be a “Dance Macabre” to the fu ture ambitions of many top-notch court teams.

Q UAt I T Y IMPORTED BRIAR Manpower Outlook Dark As Lions Signal Drill The outlook concerning injuries continued dark in the Nittany Lion camp last night as the Lions ran through signal drills in prep aration for tomorrow’s final home football game with Syracuse. Ray Hedderick and Chuck Beatty, first string centers, and Ed Hoover, tackle replacement, remain safe bets to sit out the coming tilt. Hoover will be sidelined for the season. And in tackling drills Wednesday, Jack Storer, end, came up with a painful charley hotse that threatens to keep him out of heavy duty. Head Coach Joe Bedenk indi cated yesterday that Ken Bunn, senior, would probably fill the center slot, if his injured knee holds up. Bedenk may also call on sophomore Joe Shumock. The availability of fullback Fran Rogel, at least for limited service, helped buoy the Lion hopes, Rogel leads the team in yards gained rushing, (he has 172), although he has been sidelined with an ankle injury for .two weeks. With him in there, Bedenk cain field a more driving offense. ‘ „ ■ ' Missing Rogel’s power at Michi gan State, the Lions, for the-first time in three weeks, dropped be low their five opponents in rush ing and total offense effectiveness. State’s five opponents to date have rolled up 1299 yards, 818 rushing against the Lion frontwall.
